Hello,

I searched for malware, the standalone installation-file from Adobe Acrobat Reader DC has an unknown DATA Stream (ADS).

What does it mean ?

"What specific standalone install" - sorry, I don't know what you mean by "Windows 10 x6". What's the file name you downloaded.

"Downloaded from where" - sorry, I mean exactly what is the web address (URL) where you downloaded this file.

The key thing here is to check if it is authentic, or one of the many fakes.

Is it all files or just some (or one)? Can you show the error message?

I found this from Adobe Help. Does it address your situation?

Not really, I know the security warnings in Adobe.

It's an Installation file of AAR DC. Otherwise there is no malware warning at any time for this file.
